2.2.1 Enclosure Drive Bay Numbering Convention
The enclosure drive bay numbering convention is shown in Figure 2–1. A drive bay is defined as the
space required to house a single 1.0" high 3.5 inch disk drive in its carrier module.
Important Drive carrier modules must always be fitted in drive locations 1 and 12. This is the minimum
configuration required for the system to operate and provide SES Management Services.
2.2.2 Drive Carrier Configuration
Important Before you begin installation you should become familiar with the configuration requirements of
your FC60SS enclosure, see Table 2–1.
There must be a drive present in drive locations 1 and 12 to enable SES Communications to
operate. Installing drives in both of these bays will provide redundant SES communication paths.
When planning your system configuration, please remember that all FC60SS enclosure drive bays must
be filled with either a Drive Carrier or Dummy Carrier module, no bays should be left completely empty.
